Would You Like Your Child To Experience A Fun,
Easy Way To Learn Guitar WHILE Gaining
Valuable Life Skills At The Same Time?
Let's face it. If it's not fun, kids just don't want to do anything...
After six hours at school, the last thing your child wants, is to sit and listen to another teacher spitting out mind-numbing facts. Learning the guitar needs to be fun.
As a parent, I know how you feel. The constant battle and fine line we tread, to make it 'fun', 'educational', 'interesting' and 'interactive'. Where they learn what we know they need to learn. In a way that's not a chore…or boring!

Between my partner and myself we have three teenagers and two under ten. All different personalities, moods and likes. From computer games, fandoms, tastes in music, to juggling the 'normal' day to day school activities and experiences. So I know your struggle…
It has to be fun!
Students coming to guitar lessons often relate their previous music or dance lessons. Moments of frustrations are caused from teachers yelling instructions. Showing no interest or care in the student. Taking months to get a simple result.
As an adult, you know this is no way to learn anything. All of this leads to no motivation. Diminished self-esteem. Lessons like that, only result in the the computer game being your child's best friend...
When in reality, the guitar has the potential to be their best friend for life! … given the right learning environment for them to learn in...
A normal lesson at Gold Coast School of Guitar not only provides expert instruction. Your child gets results quickly. Their other interests and school life matters. They not only learn motivation, but the self-motivation to practice what they have learnt at home - on their own. This key skill also provides many growth opportunities for your child in all areas of their lives.

Many local guitar lessons are a half hour long. While there maybe enough time, to show children something in a single 30 minute lesson, there isn't enough time for them to learn anything effectively. When learning something, even simple concepts at times, need to be explained in different ways - everyone learns differently.
But conceptual learning is not enough. Once a concept is understood, then it needs to be practiced so it starts to become a habit. In a half hour lesson there is simply not enough time for this to happen. These guitar development programs trains your child to apply the concepts and to put them into practice. The outdated, 'go home and practice it', does not happen here!
The added problem for you, with a 30 minute lesson, is there isn't enough time for you to do anything...
As you know time goes quick, or (slow when you're sitting in the car waiting for them). A half hour is not long enough to catch up on some work, run errands or to do some shopping …alone … without the kids!
The Child Guitar Development Programs are designed so YOU can get things done at the same time. Classes last an hour so you, can grab a coffee, get to the post office, read a book, or whatever you choose to do. Drop your child off, relax and do your thing, while your child learns a great instrument and skills that will last them for life!

Are These Programs Right For Your Child?
Hello, my name is Allen Hopgood - Founder of Gold Coast School of Guitar. As a parent I understand your concern.
To me the student-teacher relationship is critical. Not only for learning skills and knowledge, but for developing positive self-esteem. As this is an out-of-school activity for your child, you, as the parent, get to choose if I am the right teacher for your child's guitar journey.
To help you decide if one of these program suits your child, I would like to invite you, and your child, for a free assessment lesson. The lesson last approx. (1) one hour. In the lesson I will help your child start the right way.
As you are in the room at the same time, you will get the opportunity to decide, if I am going to be a good match for your child.
I will show your child some things that they can go away with and work on. Answer all of your questions, face-to-face. Discuss the guitar programs in depth with you (more than just a birds-eye view). Then at the end of that hour, you will be confident of making a decision to continue your child's education with Gold Coast School of Guitar or, keep searching for another guitar teacher.
The invitation is open to you. The lesson is free.
Simply fill out the form below to arrange your child's free assessment lesson.
